+ttf-ancient-fonts (Unicode fonts for ancient scripts)
+
+These are free unicode fonts for Aegean Scripts, other ancient scripts
+in the greater Aegean vicinity, Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Sumero-Akkadian
+Cuneiform, and Musical Symbols in the Unicode Standard.
+
+Despite the "ttf" in the name, the package includes a few .otf fonts
+as well.
+
+The fonts installed by this package include hinting, by default. If you
+for some reason require unhinted fonts, export HINTS=no in the
+environment before running the SlackBuild. If you don't know what font
+hinting is, you probably shouldn't worry about it.
+
+The source tarball contains an older version of the Symbola font.
+By default it's not included here, as there's already a symbola-font-ttf
+on SBo. It's a much newer version of Symbola, but is licensed under
+highly restrictive terms. If you'd rather have the older but free-to-use
+version of Symbola, set SYMBOLA=yes in the environment for this build,
+and don't install symbola-font-ttf.
